Project Zomboid on GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is well above Project Zomboid's recommended spec. We estimate ~131 fps at 1080p high (range 92–170, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~92 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 223 | 156 | 94 |
| medium | 170 | 119 | 72 |
| high | 131 | 92 | 55 |
| ultra | 105 | 73 | 44 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB back.
- Processor needed for ~131 fps: Ryzen 5 3600 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB: 16 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (+12 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Project Zomboid; usually the cheapest.
